bowed legged

Hi there, in need f some advice. My parents notice ds looks abit bowed legged and his feet are slightly turned in, they think he is it getting enough milk as I am still bf, (3xday) and that he need more milk. Jus wondering if any of you have noticed this with you lo? I give ds whole milk with cereal but he is not interested in cup, but I know I need ti b more persistent with it. Just wondering is it normal for them to be slighty bowed leased at 1 ? Or is it because I'm not giving enough milk so Hos bones. Not forming?

Milk is not considered to be as important as it once was. Kellan's pediatrician told us that we do not have to give any milk at all as long as he eats a well balanced diet. We do give milk, but I don't worry about how much he has. Has your LO's pediatrician checked his legs to see if they are straight? Kellan's legs were checked at his 12 month check up. He looks a little bow legged when he walks (it's cute), but his feet do not turn in and his legs are straight. I would have a doctor look at his legs/feet and go from there. I do not think being bow legged has anything to do with milk consumption, though!

My lo has bowed legs and in turning toes. We just had our first appointment with the childrens hospital, they took an xray, and want to see her back in six months. The doctor said the xray didnt show much they just want to keep an eye on it. If in six months it doesn't improve then we might need to worry. But at this point we are hoping she starts to grow out of it. Its fairly common and in most cases they grow out of it, we are hoping for good news at our next visit. If my lo one doesn't improve they may brace her legs or chose to just keep watching for natural improvements. So far we are looking at every six months for a check up.
